[Athen] Accessible UML Diagramming

[Jennifer Sutton]

Jeff:


If you or others on the list figure out a good process for this sort of 
thing, I'd love to hear about it.


These kinds of efforts to create a tactile or an audio representation of 
something that is so visual always interest me.


As a similar, but different example, I've long tried to find good tools 
that would permit efficient representation of mind-maps, via audio, 
braille, and/or both.

Good luck.

Best,
Jennifer
